I went into Creators After Dark 2026 with a goal and a sidequest

Goal: No repeat of my Sunday at Kimochiicon 2024 😬
Sidequest: Pick up candles from spookymoogs for stynsphotos

I had my name on two reservations: one shared with Jakuna, and the other with TipsyAsian

Thursday, April 2

Paul and I set out from Houston with my post-Las Vegas rental, a 2025 Nissan Versa, packed with Carina’s belongings, and dropped them off at her new digs

I called REDACTED on the way up to DFW, and tried again after checking in. We had a brief exchange over iMessage. This item of business concluded, I went off to the races

I grabbed my badge, saw the head of security, and said hi to him. We walked a bit, and he asked me what happened during Kimochiicon 2024

I reconnected with Pomma, whom I met at XBIZ Miami 2024

Went downstairs to see how things were shaping up. Madam Houston found me: she’d been trying to call me, but I’d left my new phone charging in the suite. Nik had over-consumed, and was leaned over in a wheelchair, a trashcan in his lap. First responders arrived, and wheeled him into a side room. Nik was able to sign off refusing an ambulance ride to the ER, and we wheeled him up to the suite

Ben Kai came up

I went back down in the bathrobe from the suite
